Chapter 453: Dutiful
The young man stood there with a quiet confidence. White hair fell down the length of his shoulder, so slick and meticulously kept that not a single strand seemed out of place.
His eyes were a gorgeous silver—not a dull grey that could be easily mistaken as such, but a true silver, as though one had placed a carefully brushed version of the metal over his irises.
He was refined in a way that was hard to describe, and his aura felt unfathomable. Sometimes he would appear to be in the Bronze Resonance, at other times in the Gold, and yet at some others he would appear to have no aura at all.
A bottomless chasm of mystery, and yet the only thing that seemed to be odd about him was the large pair of scissors that hung at his waist. That, and the ones that followed to his back.
All of them had appeared so silently and without a word, and Gian didn’t need to be a genius to pick out that there had to be a Spatial Mancer amongst them. His Divine Realm level Third Eye would also be remiss if he couldn’t tell that the Spatial Mancer in question was the little girl sucking on a lollipop at the Seijin Young Master’s back.
Of course, there was no way that this seven-year-old lookalike was truly seven. Gian also didn’t need to be a genius to know that it was likely one of the other sick proclivities of the Seijin.
This wasn’t the sick proclivity most would be thinking of. Instead, it was the habit of the Seijin to experiment with methods of cultivation no one would ever want to touch.
With Wren, his pain had been attached to his weapon. With Vellan, he was forced to take a heavy weapon path as a Wind Mancer because this young man had attached him with an inner armor he couldn’t take off even if he so wished it.
This little girl’s current visage was just another product of what must have been one of those experiments.
It was said that children were far more sensitive and flexible than their adult counterparts. Gian could think of dozens of different paths of cultivation that might be able to take advantage of this, especially for a Space Mancer where the Spells one had to cast were endlessly complex.
